2017, My money league

[TKOSpikes]

That's some killer pitching right there, sir.

Expecting a slow start for Urias... but hope they unleash him in June!

 

[TKOSpikes]

Bum and Thor
Darvish and Myers,
Bautista and Trumbo,
Chris Davis and Tulo
Castellanos and Semien
J. Gray and Grandal
Urias and Colome
Maurer and Gyorko (don't like the Jerk Store here, but I figured I might as well go all out and wait at OF... and Wong sucks! Get him outta there, Matheny!)

So far...

C - Grandal
1B - Myers
2B - Gyorko (eligible all over, so he can go to UT and I can move Trumbo to OF)
3B - Castellanos
SS - Tulo
MI - Semien
CI - C. Davis

I have to fill my starting lineup before we can draft bench players (7)... finally OF time!

 

[TKOSpikes]

Kolten Wong gave my Gyorko pick a little bump today! When asked about his coach's remarks towards a possible platoon at 2b, Wong replied, "I really don't give a ****." Also told reporters he'd rather be traded than "waste" his time with a team that didn't believe in him.

LMFAO!!!!! Currently hitting .182/.265/.260 this spring, and hasn't done diddly poo outside of a HR binge for a few weeks one year.

Mighty demands.

Trade his ass, Matheny!

I am not a fan of the Wong.

Gonna be very interesting to see where your OF journey leads you.

not worried about the probably need of streaming OF all season... pick em up while they're hot, drop em whenever!

Yikes. Gut says Werth. And keep an eye on Hicks and Rutherford of the YankMe's.

Judge tearin' it up now.

Spring is a wonderful time of the year.

I was thinking the same (Werth), but of course he gets scooped up right before me.

Took Conforto and Upton.

Draft complete... now we get three adds (one per day) starting tomorrow to round it out to 27.

I'm liking the Conforto pick, and Judge has won the verdict! Fortunately, the courts move slow and it will be some time before the appeal.

Sidenote: Haha, the above line would've been funnier if Judge's last name had been Lawyer or something like that...but what the hell, they can't all be gems!

Is that A. Garcia, Adonis Garcia?

Dude's streaky as hell, but God damn, when he's hot, he's hot.

unfortunately, it's Avisail... in my defense, this is a real DH league, so he has some value.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Adonis will probably be around for the waiver wire anyways. I was a bit surprised. He was dismal the first half of last season, white hot the whole month of July, came back to earth a bit in August, then turned up the heat again in September.

 

[Chef99]

So....3 more adds, correct? Where are you headed? Who's left? Pitching depth is always a good thing...Musgrove and Urias are a nice start. And I know you, the wire won't be much of a problem. Curious as to what you are thinking', 'cuz depending on the choices, some infield/outfield additions are warranted imo.

As to Adonis, he's having another fine spring. He has had a lot of those. Depending on the wire, he's not on my priority list. Gotta say tho, I think Avisail has shown both his floor and ceiling at this point. Take it from there.

 

[TKOSpikes]

For my first add, I'm taking a look at Shelby Miller.... yeah, I know.
Might take a stab at Jed Lowrie, or Jhonny Peralta, or Souza.
Interested in Grichuk's hand (hit by pitch), they say it's not broken, but that could be problems... and Jose Martinez looks like April's Cardinal gem.

Adonis isn't really on my radar. I'm a big Castellanos believer.... but I will keep him in mind. Need an arm first though.


Not much out there (360 players taken)...

Any Reds pitcher
Brett Anderson
Buchholz
Hector Santiago
Gibson
Jaime Garcia
Tomlin
Shields
CC


pretty ugly... I expect a few no names to show up, but you can see why I'm looking at Shelby.

Gut: Shelby (yeah, I've been a huge hater, but he's averaging 95 or so mph this spring) Grichuk isn't drafted? Check the hand, otherwise a big yes. Peralta has been given the 3B job, no? You already have Gyorko, who apparently has been tabbed to be Circle Gyorko. No brainer combo, snag Peralta.

 

[Chef99]

Man, forget Lowrie, Souza and all those other guys that will be doing the Mambo back and forth from the wire to relevancy during the year. You're a great wire player, you'll have plenty of time.

I really wish I could advice like this to myself.

No, Grichuk is taken... just saying Martinez could get an early run if Grichuk is hurt. A la Hazelbaker or whatever his name was last year.

...it's of less importance now though, with Judge getting the nod.

As to Lowrie and them.... yeah, I'll dig deep into pitching first. Three arms would be ideal.
